Engineering
The engineering department at an electrical contracting company plays a critical role in designing and planning complex electrical systems for a wide range of projects. From initial concept through final implementation, the team ensures that all systems are safe, efficient, and compliant with local codes and industry standards. They work closely with project managers, field crews, and clients to develop customized solutions that meet specific needs—whether for commercial buildings, industrial facilities, or specialized environments. Their technical expertise and attention to detail help drive project success from the ground up.
Residential
Electrical CAD equipment includes specialized computer hardware and software used to design and draft electrical systems. This typically involves high-performance workstations, large monitors, and software like AutoCAD, Revit, or Bluebeam, enabling precise layout of wiring, panels, lighting, and control systems. These tools help engineers and designers create accurate, scalable plans and streamline coordination with other trades.
Commercial
The Residential Estimating Department at Southern California West Coast Electric, Inc. specializes in providing precise and comprehensive bids for residential developments of all sizes, including custom homes, large-scale multi-family projects, and master-planned communities. With decades of industry experience, the team utilizes advanced estimating software and proven processes to ensure accuracy, consistency, and efficiency from design through completion. Working closely with builders, developers, and field teams, SCWCe’s residential estimators help deliver competitive proposals, value-engineered solutions, and reliable cost projections that support the successful execution of every project.
Low-Voltage
The estimating team within the Low-Voltage Department plays a key role in the success of each project by providing precise, detailed, and competitive proposals. Using advanced estimating software and up-to-date industry data, the team reviews project specifications, drawings, and scope requirements to ensure all systems — including data, telecom, fire alarm, security, and access control — are accurately accounted for. Their close coordination with engineers, project managers, and clients allows SCWCe to deliver accurate budgets, efficient designs, and cost-effective solutions that align with both technical requirements and project timelines.
